72mm MC UV Protection Filter Slim Frame with Multi-Resistant Coating for Camera Lens Nano-Klear
SKU: KF01.K72
Have 4 of these in 77mm, 67mm & 86mm. For the price, they're good, have no noticeable image quality issues, easy to wipe the water off of. They do scratch fairly easy so depending on your usage you may need to replace them yearly, and when used without a lens hood in sunlight or directly into the sunlight you get blue ghosting (could be worse, but I remove it when shooting towards the sun).
But quality vs cost, these are definitely the best option.

K&F do make some decent gear for the money I've found and this UV lens filter is no different. Honestly this is supremely well made with a high quality finish and a perception of a properly expensive bit of kit.
Now, I do appreciate that the jury is out on whether a UV filter is or is not needed and on that subject I have no real feelings. What I do like though is that using a UV filter prevents damage - within reason - to my actual lens. Okay, I get the fact that if I drop my camera off the back of a truck it's not going to survive, but having that lens filter does stop minor scratches and abrasive dust. It also keeps my fingers away from the lens and being flat easy to clean thoroughly with a cloth.
Overall a no brainer for me. I always put a UV filter on my lenses immediately upon purchase simply to add a bit of protection and K&F do some great ones for entirely reasonable money.

Packaged very well and included a surprise Microfiber cleaning cloth. Looks like a well build, well engineered product.

I took two UV filters with a diameter of 67 mm and 77 mm. Very thin rings designed with "toothed" areas to provide excellent grip when screwing in and out. The glass is well connected to the ring and has no play. Definitely neutral and imperceptible optical result. Viewed from the outside, the crystal reflects a strong violet hue. The "normal" protection of the lenses used is certainly effective.

This filter was purchased for a 12~60mm Panasonic lens mounted on an Olympus OM-D E-M5 MKII. It was difficult to screw on because the first thread was difficult to engage properly despite handling the notches milled on the ring. Thinking it had it fitted, it was unpacked when I took the sun visor off. It is therefore important to check that it is tight and fully screwed. Otherwise nothing to complain about, it protects the lens and filters the light

Bought this to protect the lens on the new Sony DSC HX 400v camera, fast delivery given the current circumstances, have shot with and without this lens filter and with is better in my opinion. The bonus of registering online extends the warranty on the product.

The processing quality is good. Both filter threads are good. I had no trouble mounting it to my lens and screwing the lens hood. The plating looks good and is pink in color just as advertised. Good buy. Recommended.

bought the product for my Sigma 16 F1.4 with a diameter of 67mm to have the dual function of UV filter and lens protection. The product comes in a cardboard box, inside which there is a plastic box with anti-shock polystyrene. So I have to say that the packaging is essential but also suitable for later storage. The filter has written for the characteristics and to understand the assembly noise on the fly in case you can't see the thread in the dark. To use, simply mount it by screwing it onto the lens like all standard filters and you're ready to shoot. Before mounting I had tested the lens and noticed some reflections in rare cases. I must say that with the filter they are certainly limited, but I do not think they are 100% excluded. For this reason I have limited the rating to 4 stars, although probably no filter, not even according to well-known brands, could do better. Good overall, it looks solid and is better value for money on Amazon. Recommended.

The important thing with filters is that they don't degrade image quality, and also that they have no colour cast or flaring on final images.
As a pro photographer these are more important for me than most, and luckily these work perfectly.
